Andre Blackman is an agent of change and innovation within the public health community. He is very passionate about the role of new media, mobile technology and other useful innovations as it relates to health communications and public health in general – resulting in Public Health 2.0. Andre feels that both public health and new media are focused on the people, so there should be parallels to how they both interact. Andre’s background has involved work with science and technology organizations, health nonprofits and traditional public relations. He aims to educate and provide strategy for public health focused organizations and projects who want to make use of the new social interactive landscape and innovative opportunities. You can find his thoughts on public health and innovation through his blog, Pulse + Signal (http://pulseandsignal.com) and via Twitter @mindofandre
Trabian Shorters from the Knight Foundation joins me for a timely discussion about social innovation.

In social entrepreneurship, Trabian was co-director of Ashoka-US where he raised $16M, and found 17 Fellows including Charles Best of DonorsChoose.org upon whose board he now serves. Join me and Trabian for an enlightening discussion and chime in with your comments and questions!
My October show about race and social justice philanthropy sparked some passionate commentary from many young nonprofit leaders of color. They said, and I agree, that we should also be discussing ways to involve people of color more deeply in nonprofit work. So how do we do that? This week's guests are Tamar Cloyd from Education Voters of America, Stephen Bauer from American Humanics and Nonprofit Workforce Coalition and Shawn Lewis from Pan African Community Endowment of The Saint Paul Foundation. Hear their thoughts and add your own to this important discussion!
What's it really like being the boss? Join me and several young nonprofit executive directors (way under 40) to speak about the paths they took to becoming a nonprofit executive director, their approach to working with staff and funders, and how they continue to hone their leadership skills. This week's guests include Trista Harris from Headwaters Foundation for Justice, Laura Zabel from Springboard for the Arts, Bridget Clark Whitney from Kids Food Basket and John Mark Eberhardt from The Steward's Staff.
Generation Y speaks! Join several members of the Nonprofit Millennial Bloggers Alliance for a candid, free-flowing monthly discussion about the big issues of the day: nonprofit compensation, the crappy economy, philanthropy, diversity, work/life balance, and whatever else is on our twentysomething minds. This week's show highlights OUR take and opinions about these various issues. We'll also touch on some of the things we're blogging about right now, or what's in the nonprofit news today. Join me, Allison Jones from Entry Level Living and Elisa Ortiz from Onward & Upward for a rich and lively discussion - call in to share your comments or questions about any of the topics we end up covering!
Join me this week for a frank discussion about the current dynamics of social justice philanthropy, and how race, in particular, impacts this work in the nonprofit sector. How much progress has been made in this arena of social change? What's happening right now? Join me and guests Rusty Stahl from Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP), Kevin Laskowski from National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), and Ludovic Blain from the Progressive Era Project and the Color of Democracy Fund. We invite you to call in to today's show so we can include your comments and questions in order to expand this conversation as widely as possible.
How can we continue to hone our leadership skills when nonprofit budgets are being cut for staff development? Join me and several leaders from the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) to discuss new ways for young nonprofit professionals to brand ourselves, develop leadership skills, and build a stellar nonprofit reputation. We will talk about why it's so important in this economy, share our personal experiences and of course talk about what YNPN chapters are doing to help you! This week's guests include Naomi Christine Leapheart from Philadelphia Young Nonprofit Leaders, Yesenia Sotelo from YNPN Chicago and Aaron Stiner from YNPN Phoenix. You can both listen in and call in – this is a LIVE show! And it’s going to be AWESOME.
Join me on your lunch break as we discuss current nonprofit events, highlight new initiatives, and promote the voices of young people and leaders of color working for social change. For my first show in over a year, we’ll be talking about Nonprofit Career Month, the Nonprofit Workforce Coalition and the future of the nonprofit sector. I’ll also be highlighting the work of some awesome Generation Y nonprofit bloggers. This week's show features several guests you probably know and love: Meg Busse from Idealist.org, Erica Greeley from Independent Sector, Elizabeth Clawson from Nonprofit Periscope and Stephen Bauer of American Humanics and the Nonprofit Workforce Coalition. You can both listen in and call in – this is a LIVE show! And it’s going to be AWESOME.
We're gonna shine the spotlight on 3 emerging leaders in philanthropy: Melissa Johnson at NCRP, Trista Harris at the St. Paul Foundation, and Faith Bynoe most recently at the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. We'll discuss how they all landed jobs at foundations and what the grantmaking experience is like. Callers are encouraged to dial in to join the discussion with questions or comments!
The nonprofit sector doesn’t do a very good job at promoting diversity. This is the reality and it's time to make some changes: 94% of foundation presidents are White, 86% of board members are White, and 82% of nonprofit CEOs are White. What should be done to increase the diversity of nonprofit leadership? Eric Giles of Nonprofit Roundtable, Rebecca Muse of African American Nonprofit Network & Keven Cotton of CFED join us for this discussion.
None of us are gonna get rich working in the nonprofit sector. We know that nonprofit salaries are typically the lowest when compared to business and government. So what's a next generation leader to do when you're dedicated to the cause, but tired of working for pennies even though you're doing good work? Elisa Ortiz from NCNA and job-seeker Loryn Wilson join us for this important discussion.
Live interview and discussion with Robert Egger, Founder and President of DC Central Kitchen, V3 Campaign, and author of Begging for Change: The Dollars and Sense of Making Nonprofits Responsive, Efficient and Rewarding For All, which received the 2005 McAdam Prize for “Best Nonprofit Management Book” by the Alliance for Nonprofit Management.
April 4, 2008 marks the 40th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination. In this cast, Tambra Stevenson, founder of Creative Cause, shares why she organized the Next Wave Action Summit in DC April 4-6 to commemorate Dr. King's legacy. We discuss how our generation is leading the next wave of change and where we need to push the envelope. Listeners are encouraged to call in with comments and questions.
There's a ton of anxiety in the nonprofit sector around all these Baby Boomers retiring from executive leadership positions in the coming years and the lack of qualified leaders available and willing to fill them. Yet next generation leaders are saying they're ready to step up to the plate, so is the leadership crisis real or imagined? And how do we move from crisis to action? Ruth Perry from the Providers' Council joins us to talk about the emerging leaders network she's building in Boston.
